It was a great experience to be hosted by a local family, gain insights to Argentine culture, share tidbits about our own culture over a lovely meal and Malbec (of course).

We all got to have a go at making the empanadas which was really fun. We also tasted some typical Argentinian aperitifs and sipped on wine whilst eating the food we created. It was a lovely , intimate and friendly atmosphere. Thank you David and Rosi.
